About us

Our mission

Modern veterinary medicine with old-fashioned caring.

Our mission

What we stand for

Choosing a veterinarian is about finding the right fit for your family. Great care comes from four pieces, each shaped to fit the others, and none of them is complete on its own.

Your pet
You
Us
Together
  1. Your pet is the heart of the puzzle

    Our success is measured by the impact we have on each animal’s life.
  2. You connect right alongside

    We celebrate and nurture the special bond between animals and humans.
  3. We lock into place with you

    We are dedicated to providing innovative and integrative veterinary care with compassion, respect and humility.
  4. Together, the picture is complete

    When all four pieces connect, you get more than a visit. You get a true partnership that honors the bond you share, from the first appointment through the golden years. Welcome to the family.

Our name

Why we call ourselves an “Animal Complex”

We chose the name “Countrycare Animal Complex” rather than ‘clinic’ or ‘hospital’ because we offer a complete care center for all moments of your animal’s life, not just when they are sick and need a ‘hospital’.

Complete care

What “complete care” means

  • Complete health care extends beyond medicine.
  • The health and well-being of animals depend on their medical, physical, emotional, and mental states.
  • Countrycare Animal Complex addresses all of these components of care at one convenient location – from preventative veterinary care and routine medical, surgical and nursing care, to holistic medicine, counseling and education, and much more . . .
  • Our ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of your animals’ lives and help you enjoy these special members of your family.

In their words

The hearts we’ve touched

A woman crouching beside her German Shepherd on a wooded path, one arm around the dog.

“I arrived with a bag of pills and not much hope for Fina’s quality of life. Dr. Strickfaden listened, and within weeks my German Shepherd was on the road to recovery.”

Susan H.J. · Freedom, WI
A woman lies cheek to cheek with her golden retriever on the grass, both grinning.

“Years ago when all other vets gave up on my older dog Katy, Dr. Strickfaden got her back to agility competition form with acupuncture. I’m a big fan!”

Betsy F. · Green Lake, WI
A happy red poodle hugged over its owner’s shoulder.

“Countrycare Animal Complex is what I wish for all pets. Your compassion and genuine caring makes all the difference. Duke is a happy dog because of you.”

Maureen M. · De Pere, WI
A Yorkshire terrier looks out over a woman’s shoulder as she holds him.

“Everyone there was great — from making the appointment to the vet tech to our vet. Everyone was super friendly and nice. They took their time. We didn’t feel rushed. We were very happy and grateful to the staff.”

Anne S. · Denmark, WI
A smiling man lies on the grass beside his happy golden retriever.

“Dr. Heintz was so gentle and compassionate with our dog. The vet tech was so kind and understanding with all of the questions that I asked her. They made me feel comfortable with the decisions that we made for Maddie.”
